World Cup 2010: Mexico-Argentina Predictions Goal.com's Mexico staff break down and give their thoughts on Mexico-Argentina.


Mexico and Argentina will meet in the Round of 16 once more. Here's how Goal.com's Mexico staff looks at the match.

Andrea Martinez

How much progress did Mexico show in the group stage?

Mexico has shown much progress going through the group stage. The team seemed to go through an ascent during the first two games, although it took a dip against Uruguay. Though Aguirre may not be keen on lining them up, the best players and substitutes were clearly defined in these games. Also, the availability of one the most important members of the team, Efrain Juarez, for the upcoming match Mexico can get back to how they were performing and hopefully continue on the incline.

What must improve?

Several things must improve before the game on Sunday, but one of the most important things is to not leave too many spaces. Previous teams did not fully take advantage of this against Mexico, but Argentina’s offense takes full advantage of things like these so it will be something that Mexico has to watch.

What does Mexico have going for them against Argentina?

Like Rafael Marquez mentioned in his press conference, one of Argentina’s weaknesses is their defense. Like in many of their other games, one of Mexico’s biggest advantages is their speed. All of the attention when watching Argentina may focus on their players up top and their individualities, but defensively they’re not that strong. They only let in one goal during the group stages, but they weren’t tested in the same way that Mexico might test them on Sunday. Mexico also has a good mix of players that were there for the 2006 loss, and players that were not; the older players can try and play for that revenge(no matter how much they may say it’s not revenge) and those that have a clean slate to make history against Argentina.

What is Mexico's biggest weakness heading into Sunday?

Argentina’s main attraction is Lionel Messi, and Mexico’s biggest weakness is seeming to focus too much on just that one player. Some of the focus is justifiable; he is one of the best players in the world. But, focusing just on Messi will kill Mexico. He’s shown that he can take on the markings of more than one player at a time, but all resources should not be wasted on him. If Messi is not the one making the goals or giving the passes, there are several other players on the team that can do that as well; just ask Gonzalo Higuain.
Port Elizabeth South Africa - Africa still has the representation of its first World Cup victory thanks to Ghana during overtime of the United States.

United States Ghana is familiar with, of course, after losing the 2006 World Cup Black Stars. This defeat ended the U.S. involvement in the World Cup and, although four years ago has reached the group stage.


This time, the extra time in the round of 16 is so the Yankees could do.

South America, however, still has plenty of representation in this World Cup. The five teams of the Uruguay round, and sent to South Korea 2-1 to become the first team to the quarterfinals. Here, first hosting the World Cup played in Ghana, with all the roots of Africa in the Black Stars again.


Best goal of the Day

Essien who? Kevin-Prince Boateng has admirably filled the Chelsea man. In the U.S., Boateng scored his first international goal. After Ricardo Clark dropped the ball on the midline, Boateng appeared in American environment.

Riding challenges, pushed the box. He sent a low shot that beat Howard Tim next post. The energy and pace and determination combined to put the U.S. under pressure again at the beginning.

Performance Day

Luis Suarez took a bit of criticism for not scoring before the game in the third group. Not received any negative reaction after his performance against South Korea, however.

Ajax striker did exactly what a striker needs to do - score goals. First, Suarez took an embarrassing error to start in goal to score the match. It was a simple definition, but in a tight angle.


Then, after South Korea and dynamic stabilization has been removed from Uruguay, Suárez always a goal kick very nice and gently pushing your brand and curled the ball into the post.

Three goals in two games is higher Suarez joint letters from the World Cup goal.



World Cup 2010: Africa Prevails As Ghana Hands USA Devastating Loss


Rustenburg, South Africa - Africa World Cup is his mistress, and has affected the United States.

For a cold night at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, the Americans fell 2-1 to the courtesy of the Black Stars' goal-93rd minute Asamoah Gyan. Ghana sent the Red Cross, white and blue at home for the tournament for the second consecutive year, keeping hopes of the continent home.

If the winning side was eager to run, did not show their performance.

"We fought for the continent. We are fighting for Ghana," said Andre Ayew after accepting the trophy man of the match. "Today, everyone is proud and we are ready for the next round. I hope we made a lot of Ghanaians happier. "

Africa is the conclusion, but the United States goes home disappointed. They gave an early goal for the third time in four games that Kevin-Prince Boateng had only the fifth minute. Unlike previous games however, the team began with an energy firm and recognized after Ricardo Clark gave the ball to midfield. Ghana responded and Portsmouth midfielder Tim Howard to beat Central goalie near post.

Arsene Wenger confirms Arsenal are still in the hunt for Lorient defender Laurent Koscielny

Gunners pursue replacement for Gallas

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that FC Lorient defender Laurent Koscielny remains a priority transfer this summer as plans for the absence of William Gallas.

The north London is believed to have had an £ 8 million bid rejected by Lorient but do not let that discourage, as it seems.

"There has been an approach for Koscielny and still is one," Wenger said, according to The Sun.

Meanwhile, Wenger beleieves the way Gallas turned away from the Emirates may have disrupted the recovery center in front of a disastrous campaign for the World Cup for the French team.

It has been reported earlier in the tournament that Gallas had something of a fight with other party members of the French coach, Raymond Domenech, the decision to hand the captain's armband to Patrice Evra rather than Gallas.

"I do not know if Gallas has been upset by his departure from Arsenal," added Wenger.

"I knew it would not be 100 percent for this tournament. The question for the director is whether he should have called knowing that Gallas is not 100 percent.

"He's played 35 minutes in four months before here.

"It's not enough to enter a competition like this. When you do not know where you are physically, a player is always fragile.

"William is a boy with a strong will, which is a winner. But what he will do well so bad that sometimes puts too much pressure on himself."
